Turns out the last two hours were a free trial of a prequel.
I’m not sure I’d be that interested to continue or to read a prequel, but we’ll see

Chapter 33 - rolllll creditsss

I knew this would happen…
A title of the chapter “A deep cut” is basically a spoiler

I keep wondering what is Ella’s role

Wasn’t the annotation saying the boy is not “the chosen one”, but just a normal boy getting accidentally involved in big things?
I’d say “draled” means to be the chosen one. It’s a liiitle misleading

I gotta stop reading books with juvenile main characters…

Mmm, a little underdeveloped. We have just seen the whole family being killed by the “hand of power” and yet the reaction of the boy is rather short.

I can’t hear the word “mead” anymore. It’s everywhere. The concentration of this word on the pages in chapter 10 is so high. I gotta take a break.

You wanna tell me thee teens are fighting off three supernatural creatures, once of which is seven feet tall?
Ok

Ok, proving ritual… this feels even more like “the wolf of the north”. I am wondering if there will be an attack from some rival city in which his father will fall.
Or is it just a trope/formula/construct?
A village boy (whose father is a great warrior) goes through a proving ritual where he is granted the blessing of the gods, then he is coming into his power by overcoming obstacles brought by the war.
